ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL: Josh Hawley Shows No Mercy To Airline Execs Over Fees And 'Terrible' Flights

[@davidmaynard2113]

hawley is the absolute beast of all beasts!!!!!

[@leonardmacaulay9833]

Yet all MSNBC could say about him during the commotion caused by a democrat pulling the fire alarm was that “He ran like a girl” ! SMH

I think he would have been but I think he told Pres. elect Trump that having small children would make it difficult so he took his name out of the running.

One time I asked a frontier clerk what they charged to use the restroom on the flight she said why would you ask that? I said you charge for everything else.

Many years ago at LAX a airline rep refused to measure my box that was within the limits because I made sure it was and she charged me an excessive size fee.

[@roadrunneradventuresmx3053]

Oh really wow tell me more about the situation

[@bonnymcdonald3985]

It’s exactly like “hidden fees” on our cell devices. They don’t have to tell us what they are charging us for, If you have an emergency & have to book a flight as such, you are screwed with fees & prices on top of having an emergency that is gonna cost you out the ass

[@mrgrogfather]

It's a lucky dip.

[@jim6690]

"We need our algorithms to determine how much we charge." No you don't. You have a given number of seats on a flight. You sell the seat to a person. It doesn't make any difference what kind of person it is who is purchasing the seat. Some of these other Senators should just give their time over to Hawley.

[@Connecting.the.Dots.797]

Frontier Airlines pays commission for the contracted gate agents to slam the boarding doors shut a Full 20 Minutes before departure time , in addition to the commission they receive for extorting baggage fees from the passengers

[@1cginni]

Hence why we are so frustrated 😩

[@cliffs1956]

how about everyone in the same class of seats pays the same amount.

[@concretenmyveins8403]

Not only do you get your bag pulled from the line now you have to pay to put it underneath to get it shipped to where it needs to go and the least I’ve heard of is $100

[@TheSaeghe]

It’s the same in Canada. I had to be charged a visa fee for flair airline. They charge you less for tickets but then they overcharge you when you’re about to check in. They charge you $25 for checking you in which literally takes them 2 mins. They purposely take longer for this reason too. Airlines in NA are overcharging people everyday and people have no other options.

[@muchoverde70]

a real man of the people. whining about airline fees. excellent use of our tax dollars.

[@MaryM-s6g]

so they call us "guests" and that does sound so "nice" better than sucker

[@GBelly-tf9sq]

I worked on Spirit aircraft as a contractor. I would never put my butt on the banana boat. I was at a line station and did scheduled overnight checks. A job that should take an hour and a half often took 3 to 4 because their main base maintenance didn’t do their jobs. This was around 2010-13. Judging by this guys testimony, i doubt much has changed.

[@shirleerogers5969]

Waiting for my flight to board....no airplane waiting for 3 hrs & finally one arrives, we all boarded but sat another hour for the pilot to figure out a flight plan that would allow us to make it to our destination with the amount of fuel we had....(an engine had blown)...& in the end the pilot made the determination he could not get us safely to our destination so we had to get off and go to another gate. The engine blew before it got to Charlotte...it was to fly to Tulsa and back to FL. WITH A BLOWN ENGINE. Who thought that was a good idea. Yeah boy I want to fly with that airline again...said no one ever.

[@mikemiklaus8043]

Delta Required me to check my bag because the line was moving slow! And then there were openings all over the plane when I got on board!!!

[@GeoTactics]

Airlines suck to fly over the last 15-20 years.

[@nathanthompson3401]

This is a manipulative way of avoiding price comparisons after the sale. Upselling fees after the ticket or flight has been committed. As a passenger, always be prepared to refuse to fly and walk away and go on another airline or flight. Be disruptive, cause a delay in departure, and don’t allow these fools to win.

[@frotobaggins7169]

If you are flying, they win. The lose is we refuse to fly. They would all change in weeks if people refused to fly.

[@philfreeman5567]

Great job of exposing the evil-doers, but once again, where is the accountability? These hearings are a lot of bark, but where is the bite? Were these CEOs charged a punitive fee? Were they put in jail? I don't think so. There needs to be serious teeth put into these hearings make a real change.

It's extortion they get people that need to travel especially if it's an emergency and take advantage of that situation

[@chrisingram9798]

I remember the days when they checked your bags for free, it was included in the price of the tickets. Then they kept the ticket price and decided to charge for a checked bag. Scum bags.

Avianca from Colombia put a lot more seats that feels like a mini bus with wings

[@billsander364]

No bailouts for these airlines let them fail.

[@VegasLoungeAct]

Lets make one thing clear here - Frontier and Spirit don't actually have any of their own employees. They contract out all of their work to 3rd party companies.

[@StandUnited88]

Senator Hawley is always on point! He reminds me of a predator stalking its prey because when he strikes he strikes with accuracy and strength 😂

[@luisv7117]

Oh, what a delight it is to fly with these airlines that perfectly obey international laws! Who wouldn’t want to be completely starving for six hours just to avoid a free meal? And let’s not forget the joy of retrieving our underwear at no extra charge-what a generous gesture! Those tiny cups of coffee they serve, filled to the brim with ice, are truly gourmet. Timeliness? Pfft, who needs it? The thrill of wondering if you’ll arrive on time just adds to the excitement! And those seats? Ah, nothing like being crammed into a glorified torture device for hours on end. And the crew’s attitude? Simply the warmest welcome you could hope for! I really hope they keep doing absolutely nothing about all of this!

[@globaltransport7839]

make a law that the ticket price includes one carry on and one checked bag and any additional charges should be in bold letters. flying used to be so easy and simple. Now the airlines try an attract you to their airline with lies about prices and fail to tell you what that price gets you until you arrive at the check in

[@theresaschmidt9734]

Frontier airlines even charges for customer service

[@katmax7451]

Absolute robbers!!!

[@bplmedia]

What saddens me is that as a small business when you treat people poorly it doesn’t last very long until you’re belly up. When you’re a mega corporation you have the power to do that and screw over everyone in the process. All while being able to grow your top and bottom line. We need more competition now and the red tape removed. And this isn’t just an issue with the airlines

[@frotobaggins7169]

Only because the profits and revenue is diluted over millions of people rather than thousands. If huge sectors of the public refused to be treated like cattle and not fly, these guys would sing a different tune. But right now, they are rich, powerful and they don't care what you think or do, people "have" to fly and these guys are free to do as they wish. The only way to win is not to play their stupid game, refuse to fly.

[@bplmedia]

@ 100% correct which is why I don’t anymore. Haven’t flown in ages and will not in the future anytime soon. What we really need though everywhere is more competition to force everyone to clean it up. All these conglomerates act this way because they can and they know they can

[@mscotthowell1]

Just think, us taxpayers pay for the airline's air traffic operations. Us taxpayers bailed out these airlines after 9/11 and during COVID. It's way past time these airlines pay for their own air traffic control, and leave the taxpayer out of it forever.

[@frotobaggins7169]

I'm sure they pay in fees and taxes.

[@23rdMS_Inf]

That would be a stupid move. Airlines need more regulations and consumer protection laws. I think you're so ideologically consumed that you're afraid to admit that these airlines need government oversight. If they paid for these operations, they would pass those costs to the consumer. Air travel is a necessity in the 21st century; it's like saying we should stop paying taxes for roads since semi-trucks ruin them.

[@mscotthowell1]

@@23rdMS_Inf 'If they paid for these operations, they would pass those costs to the consumer'. The users of these airlines should bear the cost of air traffic operations not the taxpayer. I pay fuel taxes, and other taxes for the construction and maintenance of highway infrastructure, and I accept that.
